Join us for a free, bird-focused morning! This event is planned in partnership with the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve, Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory, City of Superior, Wisconsin Sea Grant, Embark Supported Employment, and the Lake Superior Reserve
In August baby birds begin to “graduate” into adulthood as they prepare for migration. Come join us for a celebration of this exciting adventure for the new adult birds!
American Sign Language interpretation is provided.
We welcome people of all ages and ability levels to attend this accessible birding event at the Lake Superior Estuarium on Barker's Island in Superior. Move along the boardwalk or paved trails on a guided bird hike, or explore bird artifacts like feathers and skulls indoors at your own pace. These activities are designed with access in mind, but if you would like to request additional accommodations, please email Luciana.Ranelli@Wisc.Edu or call Luciana at 715-399-4085 at least 10 days before the event. Free transportation provided from the Superior Public Library to the Lake Superior Estuarium.
We have 15 pairs of binoculars for people to use, a spotting scope, a wheelchair mount for binoculars, and portable seating.
Light refreshments will be provided. Come and stay for the whole time, or meet up with or leave the group when you need.
There are two single-user indoor, wheelchair accessible bathrooms inside the Estuarium.
Registration is encouraged but not required. Follow this link to register.
